Hello, My Movievaures! I hope you had a great week. I’m back with a new article on a Prime TV show: Citadel. I wasn’t really excited to watch this show, but honestly, there was no other new content I could write about for this week. Unfortunately for me, and thankfully for you, I can tell you now: do not waste your time. But, let’s get to the non-spoilers part before getting into details.

After surviving an assassination attempt and having their memories erased, Mason Kane & Nadia Sinh need to get back in touch with their forgotten spy skills to face the crime syndicate that destroyed Citadel, the global spy agency they worked for.

I wasn’t really expecting much of this show to be honest. I’ve never been a massive fan of what Amazon Prime has produced in terms of action/spy/thriller content as it always seems to fall into the same traps of the genre: basic and repetitive plot, same fight scenes, and an awful amount of bad dialogue. Unfortunately for Citadel, it not only has one of these, but all of them.

I know that there is a vast Priyanka Chopra fan club out there; my apologies in advance to all of them, but I haven’t watched anything here that has convinced me of her acting talent. As beautiful as she is, it seems like her character is just another version of what she has done in the past. Same thing for Richard Madden, who is as emotional as a depressive cyborg.

In short, the only way you can enjoy watching Citadel is if you do it the same way my partner and I did: by joking about every aspect of it and trying to see who is right about the next “plot twist” that is as foreseeable as the next full moon’s date. Don’t waste your time on this, for sure, even if Prime will apparently create a whole universe around this storyline. This is all for today My Movievaures. I’ll see you next week for a new article. In the meantime, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for more news.
